They tried, but I think it is fused into the socket.

You might need to reverse the diode for watt you want to occur, but you might encounter some resistance from the other members as they try to Amp it up using the principles of Ohm's law. There's five in one

Movie World Maintenance 2019
I'd say @Rabbit2014 isn't aware it is a funicular style setup. There are two carriages (lifts) on each end of one cable. Removes the need for a counter weight as the empty carriage replaces it. One lift is guided by a track on one side, the other by the track on the opposite side, creating the tilting effect as each carriage passes the other.

Sea World to reveal $50m spend
The new resort is also where the helipads are moving to. Light rail is a while away. Still fighting about funding for stage 3A

I think Greg's appointment might be enough for us to park the "Dreamworld Acres Estate" option for the future of the park for a while.

Sea World to reveal $50m spend
Off topic then, what is happening with say residential blocks, where the sewer inspection pipe ends sticking high up out of the ground after a few years?

I think he is referring to the one about seeing you next Tuesday, not crap.

The quote doesn't mention car park that I can see? Says "1.5 acres...... Sea World Park"

The time frame between inspections may decrease as the ride ages too.

New Helicopter Centre Coming to Sea World
You've got to land them, store them, and work on them. Possibly moving them away from the park a bit, as suggested to open up for more clientele such as the nearby hotels and airport transfers. Also gets them further away from the animals.

Dreamworld Winterfest
Agreed. But this new found effort (or is it back peddling over the SkyVoyager issues) has only recently appeared. So my comment of 'overnight' is based on that sudden lack of inaction from the park.

Dreamworld Winterfest
The Cosentino show was widely panned on here, but the General Public appeared to love it. They are making an effort and giving people a reason to (a) go back at all & (b) go back again. Something like a stunt show isn't going to happen overnight, whereas 'rent a rink' is easier (I assume) to organise.

New thrill rides: six ways Dreamworld can win back fans
@Naazon I was more going for the maintenance joke, but as said above, painting, rust removal and replacing steel.

But if it's been well maintained.... hmm, probably no point continuing that line of thinking is there?

Sky Voyager Discussion
Having managed new apartment buildings built by professionals, the length of the defect list upon completion would frighten you, especially the larger issues found (not just marks and dirty floors). In one instance, a 13 floor (plus basements) building had every single penetration (go on, giggle 😁) fail as the wrong material was used to seal around where pipe/cabling went through the concrete slab. The original seals where passed by QFES inspectors prior to opening, but failed the defect inspector who came along after opening. We had a building with ~100 residents in it by the time it was picked up, that technically wasn't fire safe. This was pre-Grenfell Tower, I'd suspect if it happened today, everyone might have been made to move out until it was remedied. That building was built by one of the bigger construction companies in SEQ and passed by the Fire Department themselves, and I think is a good example of how things can be cocked up. Stretching my memory, I think the issue was that the first stage building was 5 floors, so that seal material was ok and everyone just proceeded to use it on the 13 floor building under a wrong assumption. Turns out that over a certain height you couldn't use it.

At last. It's OPEN! ☺
So is this one, a bit hard to drive it though 😁 (photo is quite old, it's ready to assemble now once boiler cert is issued)

Doesn't there need to be a train to drive though?
